Public Sector Versus Private Sector: a Model for Productivity

Abstract

When a service is provided by a federal, state, or municipal entity, accountability and responsibility for that service is accepted. Any service performed b.Y governmental agencies should be provided as cost efficiently and effectively as any service purchased from the private sector. If a service cannot be provided equally or more cost efficient and effective, then it becomes an obligation of a governmental agency to eliminate those inefficient and ineffective internal service operations and purchase the service from a private purveyor.
